Beach Challenge #1 Blue, Sage and Orange

I had fun making this box for a special person as a thank you. The paper collection is October Afternoon, Thrift Shop (perfect for me. I used sage, blue and orange to fulfill the challenge on the beach. This box is a small cigar box and I was inspired to decorate after watching Arlene's Youtube on mybutterflykisses. The flower was given to me in a flower swap and was made by Sandra Perdomo www.awalkinthecloudswithsandra.blogspot.com

Graphic 45 4x4 Boy Mini Page/Challenge #5

The challenge was to use a button on your page. I love how you can find buttons in all shapes and sizes, this one happens to be of a baseball.

I wanted a place to display all of the wonderful charms that I receive from my charm swap. I have been looking at this birdcage for several months and wanted to do something with it. I thought that I would make an album to put in it like Bona did, however never got around to it. I like how this turned out and can't wait to see what everyone creates for the August Swap.

Challenge #2 Pin Cushion to display pin swaps

I am in the process of cleaning out my scrap room and found this little piece of velvet that I was just going to throw away. I needed a place to display my pins from my pin swap and thought that it would be a good way to use this small piece. I hot glued the trim and used a flower that Arlene gave me with my initial on it. I love how it turned out, just the right size.

**** August Charm Swap CLOSED ****

I JUST ADDED ANOTHER GROUP, THANKS TO ALL FOR SIGNING UP!

Please join me in August Charm Swap. This is the third month that I will be hosting this and it is a lot of fun and addicting! I absolutely love charms that hang off tags, mini’s, pages etc. and can’t seem to get enough of them. There are so many kinds available that it is impossible to collect them all.
Please comment on my Youtube or my Blog and include your email address so that it is easier to send you updates.
This swap will be open to everyone to join. (US, Canada and International)
This will be a 7+1 swap, you will get one back.
• Each Charm should include a swivel clasp, garment pin or something to attach it to a tag or mini.
• A charm, either handmade or store bought (attached to the garment pin or swivel clasp)
• A bead or button.
• Please include your name and youtube/blog name.

Please be fair to everyone participating. If you’re unable to continue the swap, please notify me asap. I would like for everyone who has signed up to be able to receive as many as they have sent back.
Include a SASE with at last the same amount of postage as it took to mail me. Also include 2 extra stamps if needed. I will send them back if not needed. PLEASE NO METERED strips.
I will have 4 groups of 8 and will sign people up in the order of comments received.
Thank you for participating. If you don’t have my address, please email me once you are ready to mail out and I will send to you. My email address is cindy@smsrecruiters.com.
